This is going to reduce my carbon footprint like whoa.

That is absurd so rather than hand out pink slips they'd rather let the streets of New York do their dirty work for them?

Jesus! I just saw Buffett on an ABC soap opera!

I hear HBO has a new series where they drive around in a customized taxi cab and pick up well dressed "down-and-outers" and ask them risk management questions. It's called "CDO Confessions" but it is still in development.

@12:45 - why are you watching "all my childern"? if you had watched cnbc yesterday, you would have known buffett was making his 2nd appearance. he knows one the of big wigs at cap cities and has a crush on the woman started the show.

I was watching ABC for a moment because the fucking desk head went to the shitter and we conned the intern from Texas A&M to flip to the Weather Channel while the boss was "dropping Osama off at the pool", so to speak. It was during that channel switch that we saw WB. When the desk head is around we have to watch the fucking Fox News Channel all day long with brief glimpses of the Weather Channel from time to time. With oil and gas as high as they are, the desk head thinks its God's reward to him for being a Fox News watching neo-con.

The lady on the soap pronounced "Buffett" hilariously as "Boof-ay". Hilarious.

@1:05...are you working on a farm? who the hell has interns from Texas A&M?

Posted by Anal_yst, May 09, 2008 1:44PM

Um, does Seamlessweb have any tradable debt/equity? I see that as the next casualty of this appalling trend

@Anal_yst. Nice. I was searching for a Seamlessweb joke.

cheesedog, update us on Monday on the bloodbath at Morgan.

Didn't GS have a guy at some high level in mortgages just leave after 20 successful years? That guy is a Texas A & M grad. Texas A & M may strike you as nothing more than a southern aggie school, but believe me, they have an unbelievably fierce tradition of loyalty which translates into one grad helping another grad -- for life. A lot of their graduates go into finance. So if there is a Texas A & M intern, there probably is a Texas A & M grad in management.

The current governor of Texas was a yell-leader at Texas A & M. That might strike you as an insignificant accomplishment, but it catapults one into the highest echelon of Texas A & M bonding. He got to be governor of Texas in part because of his statewide network of loyalists from A & M.

Warren Buffet not only has a deep friendship with the creator of "All My Children," he also has a place in his warm Midwestern heart for Susan Lucci.

@5.07--that really, really sounds very gay......

Posted by guest, May 09, 2008 6:17PM

@5:07 -

Texas A&M, an engineering school that couldn't build a fucking pile of logs without killing 12 of their own. No wonder these guys are covering for each other, they can't survive on their own.

Posted by guest, May 09, 2008 6:48PM

@5:55pm. I know it sounds gay, but if you saw a Texas A & M yell-leader in uniform (which looks like a military uniform) and yelling his head off at a game, it would probably strike you as more scary than gay.

@6:17pm. You'd probably regret saying anything about the competence of the engineering school and the collapse of the bonfire anywhere in the vicinity of College Station or a Texas A & M grad.

Hey, I didn't go there ... just reporting what I know.

Posted by guest, May 09, 2008 6:51PM

Agreed 6:17. Do me a favor 5:07, you and the other yell leaders stick to packing fudge and smoking pole and refrain from commenting. Your homo comments are making me want to yell, because I can't believe a guy write much less know about yell leaders.

Open mouth, insert pole, begin smoking.

Posted by guest, May 09, 2008 6:57PM

@6:51, what, they don't smoke pole at harvard?

@6:48 -

I grew up in Texas, you moron.

Here is one for you, what football is the only team in recorded history (pro or college) to give up a 1 point safety? Whoop!

Posted by guest, May 15, 2008 8:32PM

Only aggys say 'Whoop'. Ghey.

Although most of the ags on the street are good guys, the rest - for good reason - remain the butt of ridicule and scorn back in Texas. It's hardly surprising that it's come out in the past year or so that the former yell-leader turned governor is a deeply-closeted player for the other team.

And the bonfire was a disgrace. Is that really the issue you want to draw a line in the sand for?
